Sorry, didn't explain fully. Yes I can score on to: or cc: but can I for
example score according to the number of messages in a mailbox? For
boxes that get 5 mails per month - no problem, keep them all. For ones
with 150 per day - no problem, clear all older than 3 months. It's the
intermediate ones that I have a problem with. Ideally I would like to be
able to keep individual mailboxes at a set level.
Or is there a better way to do this than scoring.
